Find Me Friday at Farm Tails 2

This week went by fast! Ali, over at The Blessed Country Mom, is the originator of this cute idea! Pop over to her site and join in the fun!

Making a Living is Not the Same as Making a Life!

I just received an email called the 'wooden bowl' which was pretty cool. I am sure many of you have already read it as these stories get passed around quite a bit. Near the end, it had several sayings and that one just struck me as totally true....making a living is not the same as making a life... hmmmm, such a good one, especially with the ongoing recession.

I had already taken some pics of my flowers this morning so they seem fitting for today's post. The sunflower was planted by a bird, thank you bird, you chose a perfect place! So, instead of food for thought, I am thinking flowers for thought...and I have lots of thoughts swirling around up there! ; >)

Fascinating Fawns

Evidently, last evening was fawn time! I was given the pleasure of seeing four babies! Brownie and Bossy continue to hide their twins but Beauty's light colored baby tagged along, Long Tail and her twins made an appearance, and I couldn't tell who the other belonged to as it hopped around visiting everyone, but I think it was Sunny (Brave One's fawn). The good husband brought home dinner and was able to see these spectacular little things cavorting around the corn yard while driving down the lane. I had no desire to go in to eat so I stayed in the field surrounded by these amazing creatures watching and learning more about their personalities. Blue whined with envy as he wasn't getting any attention, but Jessie was content to cool off in front of her fans.

Hi, Mom, got milk?

Grammie Brownie, you love me don't you!

Aunt Cocoa, how come you don't 'got milk'?
Uncle Nub, you are very nice to me and do not push me away like Aunt Cocoa!


Hi Mom!


Love you, Mom!


Can I come play with your twins Long Tail?

I think that is Beauty's baby with Long Tail's twins


Time for bed!

A Mysterious and Muted Morning

I awoke very early one morning last week and saw this out my window.

I thought, hmmm, maybe there are some really neat photo opportunities, so outside I went in search of wonderment. I hadn't seen the house and farm in this lighting before. It was very interesting. In July the farm is bathed with so much summer color, but this morning, it was basically black, white, greys, etc. Everything was muted and mysterious.

It was very quiet. Since the day was a special one for me anyways, I was given a unique gift!

Brownie and Cocoa! They wondered why I was up so early and took advantage of the opportunity to get some corn! Brownie, where are your babies? She only showed them to me once, when I got back from vacation.

I guess sometimes the early bird does get the worm!
